[opencms-dev] Technical information for a newbie

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Hi Peter.
 
in case of mysql the *.myd files are data files and *.myi files are
probably logfiles or ini files, the *.frm are probably some vb frame
files, they are binarys and only readble through a mysql client, e.g.
MySqlConsole, you should install it seperatly from mysql site. And then
you can go through the tables and browse the schema and cells.
Why do you need to know, which file stroes which ocms file, you can't
read it without a mysql client, try EMS MySql Manager or something else.
 
regards
Arash

Dear Mr. Kaffamanesh and Mr. Arrasz

Thanks for your fast reply, I do really appreciate this. You said, that
the content of html files is within "the database" and even binary files
are stored in the mysql db.
Which db files you mean exactly? Are these the files under
c:\mysql\data\opencms\*.*? So all the files and folders under "(Root
folder)" in the ocms-Explorer view are saved in there? Which db file
holds binary files, which holds html content ...> Filenames? Is
therefore the vfs just a bunch of mysql db's (in case one uses mysql)?
Is there any technical documentation, which tells me which mysql db file
(*.myd, *.myi,*.frm, ...) stores what or has which funtion ?

Thanks and have a good weekend
Peter

Hi Peter,



The virtual file system (vfs) is stored through the database and if you

choose the dynamic mode to work with ocms, you won't be able to find any

of your files on the harddrive, unless you make a synchronization of the

vfs with your file system (see syncronization chapter in ocms docu and

also goto Administration view and klick on the synchronization button).



You can also run ocms in a static export enabled mode and enable it in

opencms.properties (set static_export=true), then you will see an icon

in the backoffice administration "Static Export" which will allow you to

export the vfs to the filesystem. After the first installation I think

the static_export is set to false, which you could change. In my case I

have the dynamic mode enabled and use the sync function to have my files

on the harddrive, change them and then sync them back to the vfs.



  

So how is it possible to save a file (e.g. 

      

index.html) in an mysql database?



The content of html pages are saved into the cells of the db tables as

string and the layout e.g jsp templates too, and then they will be

parsed together, so that you can see the result as html page.



In case of an backup, which files 

(including this vfs) do I need to backup?



Backup your opencms db and export your module through backoffice -->

goto module section --> select your module and click export



I hope it helps :-)

Regards

Arash

Dear Opencms-Dev-Team

I get to you because I couldn't find any answer to my questions (I went 

trough mailing-archive, documentations and the internet):

First I would like to know if there is any documentation which shows me 

where Website files (*.html, *.jsp, *.xml, *.gif, ...) are saved on my 

harddisk.. What is vfs? Where is the vfs on my disk? Is everything saved



in mysql? I thought that mysql consists only of tables which contains 

data like an Excel-Sheet. So how is it possible to save a file (e.g. 

index.html) in an mysql database? In case of an backup, which files 

(including this vfs) do I need to backup?



I would be appreciative if you could reply to all my questions to have a



better technical understanding of opencms.



Thanks in advance



Peter
